Sensual and sensitive are the key words for Cancer. For them, relating to other people and pretty much everything in life takes place on the emotional and feeling level. They love relationships, but at the same time, they are often overwhelmed by them. For the most part, relationships are about feelings, which Cancers love. But people aren't always the nice and sensitive kind of people Cancers would like them to be. So, Cancers get hurt which Cancers don't like. Their lives can be virtual rollercoasters of emotions with huge ups and downs all occurring in the same 24-hour period. It's a shame because Cancers make the best friends, mates, and family members. The same sensitivity that can cause them so much pain, is also such a gift to the people they know. Cancers are always ready to offer their sensitive caring ways to others, and they are pros at it. People who know how to appreciate a Cancer's emotional gifts are lucky.

Be kind to them and they will always offer you a shoulder to cry on or a bowl of soup and a bed to sleep in when you aren't well. They truly enjoy caring for people, especially people they love.

The art of mothering is second nature to them; however, who is receiving the mothering varies from Cancer to Cancer. Some Cancers prefer to mother their mates rather than children. They are wonderful caretakers in either case. Many are wonderful cooks and bakers with a sensitivity to the variety of tastes of foods that makes them excellent connoisseurs. And many are also just plain old picky eaters. Either way, they enjoy cooking for their loved ones and are very good at it. Family is important to Cancers, especially their relationship with their mother. As adults, keeping in touch with their mothers is of paramount importance. To keep in touch, they will have weekly scheduled visits, dinners, and lunches or long phone calls if they do not live close by. The conversations will be intimate and never lacking in genuine, heart-felt emotion. These emotions

are also enjoyed by any mate of Cancer in the form of romance and sex which they truly appreciate. Any spouse of a Cancer will not go without plenty of sensual sexual pleasure. However, just because the Cancer enjoys sex with their spouse doesn't mean they can't be tempted to enjoy it elsewhere. It's not that they are cheaters. They can actually be the most loyal of signs. But they are led by their heart and

their feelings. If their spouse isn't capturing them on an emotional level, another person who does can be very tempting to the sensual desires of the Cancer. Spouses will do best to keep their Cancers satisfied physically and emotionally. They wouldn't want to lose their Cancer who can be such a giving and loving mate. A Cancer who goes ignored is not going to suffer forever. They need emotional feedback. It's not optional. And you don't want to be around a cancer who has been ignored or, worse yet, hurt or insulted emotionally.

They are not quite so sensitive with friends and coworkers. They make excellent friends. Tell them all of your dramatic stories about your horrible boyfriends or girlfriends, and they are perfectly willing to listen. The next day when you have forgiven your mate, made up with them and have a skip in your step, will not be a day when your Cancer friend calls you out on your sudden change of attitude and opinion about your mate. Cancer understands emotion and how normal relationships have ups and downs. They will be happy for you and will be ready to listen the next time you need them.

The Difference Between Cancer Sun & Moon...

​The depth of emotion experienced in the sign of Cancer is more pronounced when it is the moon in Cancer, than the sun. The proactive, masculine nature of the sun expresses the sign of Cancer with behavior more than feelings. So, it's easiest to see the difference between a Cancer sun and moon by realizing that a Cancer sun-sign person behaves like a Cancer, while a Cancer moon-sign person feels like a Cancer. The moon in Cancer may feel hurt or betrayed, but the sun in Cancer actually plots...(Click to read article)
